Review on Intel Core I5 3470 Quad Core Processor Computer Components by Micha Osiski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

In actuality, I knew before I bought that I was playing the lottery, but I still made the choice and am not sorry. I activated the default ASUS Auto Tuning tool in the extreme overclocking mode and left the machine unattended for ten to fifteen minutes. I lost it when I got back. The processor has previously been stabilized and overclocked to 4930 MHz. I have now installed 4800 MHz and am having fun. I didn't even need to enter my bio. The maximum temperatures for the cores under maximum load at 4930 MHz didn't even get to 90 degrees. I don't know if there have been new versions with regular thermal interfaces under the lid, but in my case, the new product is unquestionably superior to its predecessors. Of course, it is intriguing to speculate as to what frequency the percentage would have sped to if I hadn't turned off the overclocking tool.

Pros
  • quicker than 2500k at the same frequencies by 5% to 7%. A significant benefit is that it provides maximum performance for routine work (including in games) without detracting from 3770. The cost distinction between the CPUs is also substantial.
Cons
  • had temperature properties that fell short of expectations. Not even my own as I was aware of it before making the purchase, but rather all those who were looking forward to a new product in order to have additional overclocking options.
